http://news.yahoo.com/chinese-kitten-stows-away-la-bound-freighter-001237231.htmlCARSON, Calif. (AP) A 3-month-old kitten survived a journey across the Pacific, traveling from Shanghai to Los Angeles without food or water while locked in a freight container on a ship.
The orange-and-white short-haired kitten traveled 6,500 miles before arriving Wednesday.
It was unclear how many days the kitten was in the container. The trip can take as long as 21 days, according to freighter-travel.com.
The stowaway was retrieved from the container at a Compton-area business where it was delivered.
